Elektronisk musik

At the time, it was unclear why the UK government targeted the Spiral Tribe travelling sound system. Even after arresting many key members and launching one of Britain's biggest court cases against them. Was it really because they were a marauding horde of anarcho-techno-pirates, their outlandish music calling a generation to rebel against conservatism, convention, and even consensus reality? Or was it because, as pioneers of the 1990s free party movement, championing the new British breakbeat and European techno sound, they were reclaiming social space in warehouses and out under the stars? Each weekend they pulled ever bigger crowds away from consumer culture. No superstar DJs, no door policy and everyone dancing together as equals. An inspiring, unifying force of creativity. As Spiral Tribe's co-founder and visual artist (or as the Crown prosecutor described him, 'the criminal ringleader' who'd helped 'mastermind' Britain's 'biggest ever illegal rave' at Castlemorton), Mark Angelo Harrison has a unique perspective to tell their inside story. He vividly charts their nomadic journey and the rapid escalation of their popularity - and notoriety. From small squat-scene parties in London to enormous warehouse raves and free festivals. From one little overloaded van to the mighty convoy of matt-black military vehicles that instigated the teknivals of Europe.

First Floor started small. At first it was just a newsletter, an outlet where veteran electronic music journalist Shawn Reynaldo could write and share his ideas without having to contend with outside editors or cater to social media algorithms. It was a blank canvas, and Reynaldo began to fill it with his extended thoughts on not just electronic music itself but the culture and industry that surrounded it. His first few missives went out to only a handful of people, but as the months went by and his writings increasingly became a focal point of discussions within the wider electronic music world, Reynaldo came to a surprising realization: people were actually reading this thing. Just a few years later, First Floor now stands as one of electronic music's most influential platforms, particularly as Reynaldo continues to put many of the genre's thorniest issues under the microscope. First Floor Volume 1 collects his most thought-provoking pieces and provides a nuanced, wide-ranging look at contemporary electronic music culture as it comes to grips with systemic challenges and a time of profound transformation. Whether he's taking a hard look at the genre's futurist ethos, questioning the practices of the modern music press or mapping out what motivates dance music's newest generation, Reynaldo applies an undeniably critical lens, but his words are informed by decades of experience, a genuine passion for the subject matter and an open-minded outlook toward whatever changes lie ahead.

Pionerer & outsidere – Dansk elektronisk musik 1928-1980 er den samlede fortælling om den elektroniske musiks fremkomst og opblomstring i Danmark. Historien begynder med en række koncerter i Tivoli i København med det russiske Theremin-instrument i 1928 og rundes af i 1980, hvor den elektroniske musik efterhånden er blevet en integreret del af store dele af mainstream-musikken. De mellemliggende 52 år viser en overraskende mangefacetteret historie om teknologisk og kunstnerisk udvikling drevet frem af pionerer med stor nysgerrighed over for nye musikalske produktionsmuligheder og nye klange. I bogen møder vi en række klassisk uddannede komponister som for eksempel Else Marie Pade, Jørgen Plaetner og Fuzzy, der tidligt tog den elektroniske musik til sig, men vi møder også mange ukendte amatørkomponister, der eksperimenterede med spolebåndoptagere og byggede egne instrumenter. Bogen afdækker også, hvordan den tidlige elektroniske musik manifesterede sig langt fra det traditionelle musikliv, blandt andet inden for billedkunsten, i tidlige eksperimentalfilm og i underholdningsbranchen. Her gemmer der sig historier om syngende hunde, der kom til tops på de amerikanske hitlister, om festklædte ingeniører, der dansede til computermusik sidst i 1950’erne, og elektronisk lydterapi, der gjorde patienterne døve. Historien udfoldes på baggrund af et stort reseracharbejde og inddrager interviews med komponister og et væld af datidige kilder. Gennem beskrivelser af de musikalske værker og lydeksperimenter afdækkes en væsentlig og farverig, men stort set glemt og ubeskrevet del af dansk musikhistorie.

David Tudor (1926-1996) war in den 1950er-Jahren einer der führenden Pianisten und Interpreten zeitgenössischer Musik in Europa und den USA. Seine Fähigkeit, auf die Unbestimmtheit anspruchsvoller Partituren von Komponisten wie John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen und Christian Wolff zu reagieren und deren komplexe, manchmal mehrdeutige Anweisungen umzusetzen, war einzigartig und faszinierte seine Zeitgenossen. Ab den frühen 1960er-Jahren vollzog er den Wandel vom Interpreten zum Komponisten-Performer und schuf die Grundlage für eine Praxis, die wir heute als Live-Elektronik kennen."Teasing Chaos" ist die erste umfassende Darstellung seiner Pionierleistung und seiner interdisziplinären Kollaborationen mit bildenden Künstler*innen wie Robert Rauschenberg, Marcel Duchamp oder Jacqueline Matisse Monnier, und würdigt ein Werk, das bisher zu wenig beachtet geblieben ist.

KNUD VIKTOR (1924-2013) var en dansk maler og lydkunstner, som efter studier ved Kunstakademiet i København slog sig ned for foden af Luberonbjerget i Provence. Oprindelig for at male i Cézannes og van Goghs lys, men siden i højere grad som skaber af ”lydbilleder” gennem feltoptagelser. Knud Viktor gik helt tæt på den summende provencalske natur med sin mikrofon og indfangede cikadernes sang, kaninungernes snorken, bjergenes rumlen og ormenes næsten lydløse murren i det gamle træværk. Han kaldte sig selv for ”jordborger”, borger ikke alene i menneskenes verden, men også i lysverdenen, dyreverdenen og ”de andre verdener, der er til”. Denne bog er den første på dansk om Knud Viktors verdensfordoblende kunst og filosofi.

Im November 2020 wurden Depeche Mode in die "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame" aufgenommen. Bei der Annahme der Ehrung sagte David Gahan: "Ich möchte mich bei Anton Corbijn bedanken, der Gott sei Dank zur richtigen Zeit zu uns stieß und uns tatsächlich cool aussehen ließ." Ebenfalls im Herbst 2020 brachte TASCHEN den limitierten und von Depeche Mode und Anton Corbijn signierten Band Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) heraus, der sich zu einer der am schnellsten verkauften Collector's Editions in der Geschichte des Verlags entwickelte. Diese günstige und aktualisierte Ausgabe im handlichen Hosen-TASCHEN-Format gibt Zeugnis von Corbijns einzigartiger Vision und ist in der Tat so "cool", wie Gahan in seiner Rede würdigte. In der reich illustrierten Geschichte erfährt man, wie Corbijn, der 1986 de facto Kreativdirektor der Band wurde, dazu beitrug, Depeche Modes Ruf als größter Kultband der Welt zu untermauern. Der Band enthält über 150 Fotos aus Corbijns umfangreichem Archiv, darunter sowohl offizielle als auch privatere Bandporträts, aufgenommen in Madrid, Hamburg, der Wüste Kaliforniens, Prag oder Marrakesch; dazu eine Vielzahl von spontanen, ungestellten Bildern und atemberaubende Live-Aufnahmen von sämtlichen Tourneen von 1988 bis 2023 . Entstanden in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Band gewährt Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn eine Vielzahl von Einblicken in die Arbeit mit Corbijn und zeigt auf eindrucksvolle Weise, wie die einzigartige Ästhetik eines Mannes, von dem sämtliche Fotografien, die meisten Musikvideos, Albumcover und Setdesigns stammen, die anhaltende Popularität der Band prägten. In der Einleitung erinnert sich Corbijn an seine vielschichtige Rolle bei Depeche Mode: "Vieles hing von mir ab. Ich wollte einfach der Richtige für sie sein, für sie mitdenken und aus mir das Allerbeste herausholen." Der Band zeugt von der Tiefe und Breite dieser Großartigkeit und feiert eine der kreativsten und beständigsten Kooperationen der Musikgeschichte.

From the ashes of Nirvana, Dave Grohl rose as a oneman band with a self-titled album: The Foo Fighters. Now, 25 years on, and with a rock solid outfit that includes Nate Mendel (bass), Taylor Hawkins (drums), Chris Shiflett (guitar), Pat Smear (rhythm guitar) and latest addition, Rami Jaffee (keyboards) - The Foo Fighters are revelling in the success of their ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold. Paying homage to the band's enduring longevity, The Foo Fighters: The Band that Dave Made is a comprehensive look at a career that boasts six, million-selling albums, eleven Grammies and hit stadium rock anthems such as "Learn to Fly", "Best of You" and "Everlong". Fully Illustrated, this handsome biography from acclaimed rock writer, Stevie Chick, is a fitting tribute to a band born out of the "nicest guy in rock's" single-minded vision and now one of the planet's biggest rock groups.

Depeche Mode's 101 is, at first glance, a curious thing: a live double-album by a synth band. A recording of its "Concert for the Masses," 101 marks the moment when doomy, cultish, electronic Depeche Mode, despite low American album sales and a lack of critical acclaim, declared they had arrived and ascended to the rare air of stadium rock. On June 18, 1988, 65,000 screaming, singing Southern Californians flocked to Pasadena's Rose Bowl to celebrate DM's coronation. The concert also revealed the power of Southern California radio station and event host KROQ, which had turned Los Angeles into DM's American stronghold through years of fervent airplay. KROQ's innovative format, which brought "new music" to its avid listeners, soon spread across the country, leading to the explosion of alternative rock in the 1990s.Eight years after its founding in Basildon, Essex, Depeche Mode, rooted in 1970s Krautrock, combined old-fashioned touring, well-crafted songs, and the steadfast support of KROQ to dominate Southern California, the United States, and then the world, kicking open the doors for the likes of Nirvana in the process. 101 is the hidden-in-plain-sight hinge of modern music history.

Wie kann man sich in einen Klang hineinversetzen? Welche Perspektiven öffnen sich durch das Aufeinandertreffen von Raum, Resonanz und Wahrnehmung? Und wie verändern sich dabei die Beteiligten? Der Künstler und Komponist Jan St. Werner, bekannt als Mitglied des Duos Mouse on Mars, entwirft mit Space Synthesis ein radikal neues Verständnis von Klang und Raum. Das Zusammenspiel von beidem wird zur Methode der Erkundung von Architektur und sozialen Zusammenhängen. Space Synthesis ist der Katalog zur ersten Einzelausstellung von Jan St. Werner und zugleich das Dokument einer Praxis, die sich gegen scheinbar feststehendes Wissen wendet und die produktive Kraft von Klang multiperspektivisch untersucht. Zahlreiche Beiträge vertiefen das Verständnis seiner künstlerischen Arbeit.JAN ST. WERNER (*1969, Nürnberg) bezieht sich in seinen Soundarbeiten stets auch auf den Austausch mit der bildenden Kunst. Werner realisierte Klanginterventionen und Ausstellungen im Rahmen der documenta 14 in Athen und Kassel, dem Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Lenbachhaus und ebenso auf der 6. Ural Biennale. Werner lehrte an der Nürnberger Akademie der Bildenden Künste, am Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) in Boston und an der New York University Tisch School of the Arts in Berlin.

sinusoidal run rhythm entsteht durch die Addition phasengleicher Cosinusfunktionen in ganzzahligen Verhältnissen. Sie sind in ihren Maxima gegenüber entsprechenden notierten Rhythmen zeitlich und dynamisch verschoben und weisen eine Körperlichkeit auf, die in diskret gesteuerten Rhythmen nicht vorhanden ist. sinusoidal run rhythm definiert Rhythmus also als Welle und hebt sich so deutlich von der herkömmlichen Rhythmustheorie einer europäischen Musiktradition ab. Es eröffnet sich eine unerschöpfliche Vielfalt an betörend körperlicher Musik.Der Band bildet diese ästhetische Diversität in zahlreichen Illustrationen der sinusoidal run rhythm ab. Er bietet zum einen die Möglichkeit, in die Ausformungen eines erweiterten Rhythmusbegriffs einzutauchen und sich in die Schönheit einzelner Exemplare zu verlieren - dem Vorbild von Büchern zur Bestimmung von Käfern oder Schmetterlingen folgend. Andererseits regt die Theorie dazu an, die Grenzen zwischen Vorstellung und Aufführung, Partitur und Interpretation, Mensch und Maschine zu aufzuweichen und nach Anwendungen im Musikmachen, in der Musikanalyse, der Psychoakustik oder der Philosophie zu suchen.

The Chemical Brothers emerged in the early 1990s, an electronic music duo consisting of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons. Alongside The Prodigy and Fat Boy Slim they made the leap from the underground into the mainstream on the back of the 'big beat' genre, and the million-selling success of their debut, Exit Planet Dust. Their second album, Dig Your Own Hole went stratospheric in 1997 and they have collectively, had 6 number one albums. Their original and incredibly influential but tiny residency was at the Heavenly Social in 1994. They have collaborated with a host of internationally famous artists from Noel Gallagher to Mazzy Star and Richard Ashcroft.This is the story of the band, in their own words, and with contributions from intimate friends and collaborators. The book will be fully illustrated with photography and design work from the archives. The Chemical Brothers have headlined major festivals including Glastonbury and won six Grammys. They are unquestionably one of the biggest electronic music acts in the world today.

Since the dawn of the 1990s, British dance music has been in thrall to the seductive power of weighty sub-bass. It is a key ingredient in a string of British-pioneered genres, including hardcore, jungle, drum & bass, dubstep, UK garage and grime. In Join The Future, dance music journalist Matt Anniss traces the roots, origins, development and legacy of the sound that started it all: the first distinctively British form of electronic dance music, bleep techno. A mixture of social, cultural, musical and oral history, Join The Future reveals the untold stories of bleep's Yorkshire pioneers and those that came in their wake, moving from electro all-dayers and dub soundsystem clashes of the mid-1980s to the birth of hardcore and jungle in London and the South East. Along the way, you'll find first-hand accounts of key clubs and raves, biographies of forgotten and overlooked production pioneers, stories of bleep outposts in Canada and the United States, and the inside story of the early yea

This unique, visually exciting look at the evolution of nightclubs across America and Europe since the 1960s reveals an unwavering truth about club culture-the one constant is change. Opening with the psychedelic haunts of the 1960s New York pop art scene and closing more than half a century later with the rise of post-club happenings, "Temporary Pleasure" shows how nightlife spaces have evolved to meet the needs of their generation, and how each generation was seeking something a little different from the one before. Each chapter focuses on a distinct phase and location: Italy's politically radical clubs of the '60s; New York City's disco scene; Detroit and Chicago's techno and house paradises; Ibiza's counterculture communal retreats; Britain's rave culture; and Berlin's techno scene. The clubs come to life in double-page spreads that feature specs and detailed profiles. Author John Leo Gillen offers his take on various important cultural, design, and architectural details, while numerous photographs offer their own vibey stories. The book features interviews with people who were involved in a number of the scenes included, from NYC disco mainstay DJ Justin Strauss to Ben Kelly, architect of Manchester's legendary venue The Haçienda. As the world emerges from its Covid-induced isolation, this celebration of crowded rooms, dance-worthy beats, and communal transcendence feels more important than ever.

As one of club culture's most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. Here he tells the most extraordinary stories of depravity and hedonism, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction - and of recovery, redemption, friendship and the joy of a good tune.'If you want to change your life but can't.. I strongly advise you read this book' TRACEY EMIN'This is a story that should never have been told' KATE MOSS 'I love this man so much. He was, and always will be, my knight in shining Westwood.' DAVINA MCCALL'Anyone can get a party started, but no one keeps it going like Fat Tony, the energy never dips andwhat a life he's lived.. He's a tosser but we still love him.' ELTON JOHN & DAVID FURNISHDJ Fat Tony has been described as 'the closest thing that club culture has to a national treasure' and the 'unlikely cult hero of quarantine'. Few people have crammed so many lives into one: when your first line of cocaine is aged 16 with Freddie Mercury, where do you go from there?I Don't Take Requests is Fat Tony's breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes. From his childhood on an estate in Battersea where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man and made friends with Boy George, to his teenage years spent parading the Kings Road in his latest (stolen) clobber, working as a receptionist for a prostitute, hanging out with Leigh Bowery and Sue Tilley and creating his drag persona, to his life as DJ to the stars and his spiral into serious drug addiction. Now, he is 16 years sober and, alongside working to help others overcome addiction, DJing for everyone from Elton John to Louis Vuitton and the Beckhams - and running one of lockdown's most popular Instagram accounts with its wickedly funny memes. It is all here in horrifying, glorious, heart-breaking detail.'Whenever we host a party, Tony is our first port of call. He'll have everyone dancing, guarantee great memories, and the stories he tells... Just don't f*****g ask for any requests!' DAVID & VICTORIA BECKHAM'There is nobody in London, let alone the world who has lived a more extraordinary life... his journey from villain to real life hero is one of the most beautiful examples of humanity I have ever witnessed. I wouldn't be without this c*nt.' KELLY OSBOURNE'Hearing Tony's story is brutal and shocking. He is nothing short of a miracle and his willingness to be of service to others seeking sobriety is testament to how far he has come from the days of pulling his own teeth out.' MARC JACOBS
